"Hashish", the first single from the album, is described by Moore as "an ode to the narcotic of love in our shared responsibility to each other during isolation."
Sonic Youth’s eponymous debut EP, reissued in a deluxe double- LP edition on the band’s own Goofin’ imprint, was recorded in late 1981 at Radio City Music Hall in NYC and originally released on composer Glenn Branca’s Neutral label.
